Another nice story is going the rounds
now about the Duke Of Edinburgh, who is
admiral of the British feet in the Mediter-
ranean. 1t SCENE the official representa-
tives of Algeria visited the flagship to pay
their respects to him but were sent away on
the ground that he was asleep and did not
wish TO be disturbed. This recalls that the
British squadron last spring refused to
answer the salute of the French fleet be-
cause the duke was asleep, and it might
disturb him; and both of these recall the
old story of him as lad when he wasn't
asleep at all. They used to say when he
was first IN the navy he used to sell his
mothers letters to the fellows with him
on the ship who were anxious for the auto
graph of their queen. Every lime she
wrote him it was money In bis pocket
That was being wide awake.

After all the assertions and denials con-
corning the matter, it seems that the sur
render by young Robert Garrett of the
control of the Baltimore s. Ohio property
is no longer matter of speculation. 1t is
the end of the painful Struggle which he
has been engaged in for some time past,
and which has caused a multitude of ru-
mors ard contradictions. 1t was because
he was In tight place that he was willing
to accept the services of Henry S. Ives 6
Co.. with their promise to sell the road to q
syndicate. Those who have come TO his
rescue now-if it may be called rescue
are men of financial standing, abundantly
able to keep their agreements. Whether
the public will be benefited by the wiping
out of such extensive competition in travel,
freight. express and telegraphing may be
considered very doubtful.

that the south has and Is contributing a

ANOTHER PORTRAIT OUTRAGE.

There is in session at Omaha, Neb., q
reunion of Grand Army Posts of that state
and many from adjoining states. Some
body with more zeal than discretion at
tempted to re enact the Wheeling, Va,
episode by displaying a large portrait OF
President Cleveland at q certain point on
one of the streets so as to compel the mem
bers of the G.. A. R. to pass under 1t in
procession. In speaking of the matter the
Republican of that city says: "The pur-
pose in suspending this portrait is not to do
honor to Mr.. Cleveland, but tn compel the
G. A. r. to do something distasteful to its
members The objection of the veterans Is
not to the simple act of marching beneath
any mans portrait; but they look upon the
use that is being made of the present oc-
casion as a deliberate attempt to coerce
them by a political party
In d. the interest of cam
didate for office, and against
this there is a strong disposition to revolt
There are no men in this nation whose
loyalty has been tried and proved as has
been that of the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic. There are none
who hold in higher respect the office Of
chief executive of the nation; but the great
body of the order do not want Mr.. Cleve-
land re elected. Knowing this, the por-
trait in question has been suspended for a
deliberate purpose, and it is to that pur-
pose, and the indignity which 1t implies,
that the old soldiers object.
If the Democrats want to have some
member of their party honored by the vet
Grams let them pnt Hancocks portrait in
place of Cleveland's, and every old sol
dier head will be uncovered as he passes
beneath It,
1t is shame 10 force politics upon an
occasion like this. The veterans are gath
cred for social reunion and with no other
object. Why make an issue of this kind :
Why give out that they must do certain
thing-msrch beneath certain mans pic
TUE, who is candidate for office-or their
program must Be changed? The Repub!i-
can would say the same If Bla!ne's portrsi,
or Sherman's had been swung over the
street, with the act implying the same
threat. We repeat it Is shame upon the
city to force this issue st this time, and
and those who are engaged it could be in
much better business.
But the veterans do not have to march
Under the banner II remains TO be seen
whether they will do Ii or not.
